Chia is one of our favorite Indigenous foods! Chia pets (figuras de barro con chia) adorn the altars for the Easter celebration of Viernes de Dolores. You'll see these figures at many of the city's markets as well but generally only at this time.
Misc
Chia is grown commercially for its seed, a food that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, since the seeds yield 25-30% extractable oil.
Chia pet decorations take about two weeks to bush out.
Drinks (Agua de chia) are made with the chia seed
If you'd like to be a good chia farmer, you'll need the following
Chia Seeds
Clay figures or porous bricks
A dark and preferably moist nook
Water and a water sprayer (spritzer)
